Israel Gaza strikes kill top militants and 10 civilians - BBC

BBC News

At least 13 Palestinians, including three commanders of the militant group Islamic Jihad, have been killed in Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip.

A Palestinian health official said six women and four children were among the dead. Another 20 people were injured.

Israel said it had launched an operation targeting militants who posed an imminent threat to its citizens.

Islamic Jihad has vowed revenge and Gaza-based militants are expected to respond with rocket fire into Israel.

Correspondents say one significant factor will be the extent to which Hamas, which controls the Strip, joins in.

Israel officials are said to be preparing for days of fighting.

The strikes were the deadliest since three days of fighting between Israel and Islamic Jihad last August.

Islamic Jihad is the biggest militant group next to Hamas in Gaza. It has been responsible for many of the rocket attacks Israel from the territory in recent years and is sworn to Israel's destruction.

There was a serious flare-up last week, as Islamic Jihad and other groups fired several barrages of rockets into Israel over two days following the death in an Israeli prison of a Palestinian hunger striker. The Israeli military carried out air strikes in response.

The latest strikes took place in the early hours of Tuesday morning, when 40 Israeli warplanes and helicopters attacked in several waves across Gaza, hitting homes and causing panic among residents.

Pictures showed at least two apartments with their fronts ripped away and others damaged.

Islamic Jihad's military wing, the al-Quds Brigades, said three of its commanders were killed, along with their families.

It identified them as Jihad Shaker al-Ghannam, secretary of the al-Quds Brigades' Military Council; Khalil Salah al-Bahtini, the commander of its Northern Region, and Tariq Muhammad Ezzedine, who it said was "one of the heads of military action" in the occupied West Bank.

"As we mourn our martyr leaders, along with their mujahideen wives and a number of their children, we affirm that the blood of the martyrs will increase our resolve," the al-Quds Brigades said. "We will not leave our positions, and the resistance will continue, God willing."

Israel's Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant, said: "Any terrorist who harms Israeli citizens will be made to regret it."

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Bahtini was the senior operational officer of Islamic Jihad in Gaza, and that he was responsible for the rocket fire from Gaza in the last month.

"He was an imminent threat to the security of Israeli civilians," it added.

It added that Ghannam was a senior member of Islamic Jihad's rocket force and that Ezzedine was in charge of co-ordination with the group's operatives in the West Bank and planning attacks on Israeli civilians there.

The IDF said its aircraft also struck 10 sites used to manufacture weapons and six Islamic Jihad military facilities.

Spokesman Lt Col Richard Hecht said the operation had "achieved what we wanted to achieve", according to AFP news agency.

When asked about child casualties, he replied: "If there were some tragic deaths, we'll look into it."

Allen mall shooting - update: Parents and three-year-old son named among eight killed by Texas outlet shooter - The Independent

Shooting at Texas outlet mall

Investigators in Texas are looking into possible neo-Nazi and white supremacist beliefs of the gunman who killed eight in the mass shooting at a shopping mall in Allen.

Mauricio Garcia, 33, was identified as the shooter who drove to the Allen Premium Outlets on Saturday afternoon and opened fire on innocent shoppers with an AR-15-style rifle.

Eight people, including three members of a family, died in the attack before the gunman was shot dead by a law enforcement officer.

The motive for the attack remains unknown but the gunman was wearing a patch reading “RWDS” – standing for Right Wing Death Squad – as he carried out the rampage.

Police sources told NBC News that Garcia – an Army veteran who worked as a security guard – posted neo-Nazi and white supremacist content online.

As details continue to emerge about the gunman, the victims are starting to be identified.

Christian LaCour, a 20-year-old security guard at the mall, Aishwarya Thatikonda, an engineer who was shopping at the time, parents Cindy and Kyu Cho as well as their three-year-old James were among the victims.

Texas House advances bill that would raise age to purchase semi-automatic firearm

The Texas House Community Safety, Select Committee advanced a bill that would raise the minimum age to purchase a certain semi-automatic rifle on Monday - just days after another mass shooting rocked the state.

In an 8-5 vote, the committee voted to send the bill to the House floor marking a rare milestone in gun control advocates’ fight to reduce mass shootings in Texas.

The bill, HB 2744, would make it an offense for anyone to knowingly sell, rent, lease, give or offer to sell, rent, lease or give a semiautomatic rifle capable of accepting a detachable magazine and has a caliber greater than .22 to a person younger than 21 years old.

It also prevents the sale of a firearm or ammunition to a person who is intoxicated, under an active protective order or convicted of a felony within five years of being released from parole.

Dallas newspaper urges Gov Abbott to act on gun violence

The mass shooting that occurred on Saturday is just the latest in a string of tragic episodes of gun violence in Texas.

After eight people were killed and seven injured in Allen, Texas, local newspaper The Dallas Morning News released an editorial on behalf of the news staff urging Governor Greg Abbott to do something about gun violence.

In the open letter, the newspaper’s editorial news criticised Governor Abbott for saying the shooting was “an unspeakable tragedy” rather than addressing gun violence.

“You responded that this was an “unspeakable tragedy.” We tell you that it was not unspeakable, and that the people of Texas need you to speak to it and its cause,” The Dallas Morning News wrote.

“There is nothing conservative about refusing to acknowledge evidence or give voice to the true nature of a problem,” they added.

EU cancels Israel event over far-right minister's plan to attend - BBC

File photo showing Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir (left) waving as he attends an event for Israel's Memorial Day in Beersheba (25 April 2023)

By Yolande Knell

BBC News, Jerusalem

The EU has cancelled its diplomatic event for Europe Day in Israel because of the planned participation of the far-right minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir.

Organisers said they did not want "to offer a platform" to someone whose views contradicted its values.

As the Israeli government's designated representative, Mr Ben-Gvir had insisted he would give the customary speech at a ceremony on Tuesday.

In response to the decision, he accused the EU of "undiplomatic gagging".

It is understood that the Israeli Government Secretariat put forward Mr Ben-Gvir's name according to a rotating list of ministers selected to attend official diplomatic events and that EU ambassadors were caught by surprise.

Despite explicit requests from the EU and its prominent member states to send a minister who was not identified with the extreme right, Mr Ben-Gvir insisted that he would go.

The national security minister had stated that he would use his speech to call for a united "struggle against jihad and terrorism" while also telling EU representatives it was "inappropriate for EU countries to fund initiatives against IDF [Israel Defense Forces] soldiers and Israeli citizens".

Several EU representatives had threatened not to attend.

The decision to cancel the diplomatic ceremony was made after a meeting of EU ambassadors to Israel. Israeli media report that only Hungary and Poland, two conservative, pro-Israel countries, dissented.

In its short statement, the EU delegation to Israel said it would continue to celebrate Europe Day on Tuesday, as it does annually.

It said that a cultural event for the general public scheduled to take place in Tel Aviv would go ahead "to celebrate with our friends and partners in Israel the strong and constructive bilateral relationship".

The response from Mr Ben-Gvir's office criticised the EU, saying it was "a shame" that the international body "which claims to represent the values of democracy and multiculturalism, practises undiplomatic gagging."

"It is an honour and privilege for me to represent the Israeli government, the heroic IDF soldiers, and the people of Israel in every forum," he added.

Since Israel swore in its most hard-line government ever at the end of last year, official representatives of many European countries - which have strong relations with Israel - have refused to meet Mr Ben-Gvir and his fellow ultranationalist, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.

The controversy around Europe Day has been a source of diplomatic embarrassment.

Adding to the sensitive timing, the EU harshly condemned Israel's demolition on Sunday of an EU-funded elementary school for Palestinian children near Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.

The Israeli military said the structure - in part of the West Bank under full Israeli control - was built illegally and was unsafe, leading to an Israeli court decision to demolish it.

On its Twitter account, the EU delegation to the Palestinians said it was "appalled" by the action, which it said would affect 60 children, and that the demolition was illegal under international law.

Palestinians often justify what Israel deems as illegal building in the West Bank by saying it is virtually impossible to obtain official construction permits.

Air raid sirens have sounded across Ukraine after Russia launched a fresh wave of drone and missile strikes.

Explosions were heard overnight in the capital, Kyiv, where the mayor said five people had been injured in the "biggest" kamikaze drone attack so far.

One person was killed in the attack on the southern Odesa region. Ukraine's Red Cross says its warehouse was hit.

It marks the fourth attack in eight days on Kyiv and comes just 24 hours before Russia celebrates Victory Day.

The annual holiday commemorates the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany during World War Two, a conflict the Kremlin has baselessly tried to draw parallels with since launching its full-scale invasion of Ukraine last year.

After a lull in Russian attacks on civilian targets in recent months, which saw Kyiv go days without an attack, Moscow has intensified its air raids over the past week ahead of a widely expected Ukrainian counter-offensive.

The Ukrainian military said the latest Russian raids - which lasted for more than four hours and were launched shortly after midnight - saw Iranian-made Shahed kamikaze drones swarm across the country.

Kyiv's Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said nearly 60 drones had been launched by Russia, describing it as the "biggest" such attack so far.

He added that all 36 drones had been destroyed over Kyiv, but five people had been injured by falling debris from downed drones.

The BBC has not been able to verify these numbers.

Emergency services responded after drone wreckage fell on a runway at Zhuliany international airport - one of the city's two commercial airports - Kyiv's military administration said.

And civilians were injured after drone debris hit a residential building in the central Shevchenkivskyi district, the administration added.

Elsewhere, in the Black Sea port city of Odesa, a warehouse was set ablaze after eight missiles were fired at targets by Russian bombers, Ukrainian officials said.

In a statement, Ukraine's Red Cross said its warehouse with humanitarian aid was destroyed and all aid deliveries had to be suspended.

Natalia Humeniuk, a spokesperson for Ukraine's Southern Command, later said a body of a man - a security guard - was pulled from the wreckage.

In a daily update, the Ukrainian military's command said there had also been a wave of missile strikes on the Kherson, Kharkiv and Mykolaiv regions.

At least eight people - including a child - were injured in two villages in the southern Kherson region, local officials said.

In Zaporizhzhia, the head of the Russian installed administration, Vladimir Rogov, said Russian forces hit a warehouse and a Ukrainian troop position in the small city of Orikhiv.

On the eastern front, the Ukrainian commander of forces in the besieged eastern city of Bakhmut said Russian troops had stepped up shelling, in a bid to take the city by Tuesday's celebrations.

Russian troops and fighters from the Wagner Group, a private military company, have been trying to capture Bakhmut for months - despite its questionable strategic value.

Over the weekend, Wagner's founder Yevgeny Prigozhin appeared to U-turn on a threat to withdraw from the city after he was promised fresh ammunition supplies by the defence ministry in Moscow.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that 9 May would from now be celebrated as Europe Day, in line with the European Union. The move - which needs parliamentary approval - is seen as a pointed rebuke to Russia.

Mr Zelensky said he had signed a decree that the day would commemorate European unity and the defeat of "Ruscism" - a term that is shorthand for "Russian fascism".

He also said that 8 May would now officially be a Day of Remembrance and Victory, as marked in many countries around the world.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will hold talks with Mr Zelensky in Kyiv on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, as Russia is preparing for Tuesday's Victory Day parade on Moscow's Red Square, the Kremlin is yet to reveal what President Vladimir Putin's role will be at the annual event.

Last year, Mr Putin addressed the marching troops and was seen sitting among World War Two veterans in the VIP box.

Russia says the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan - all former Soviet republics - are expected at the parade, which has been otherwise snubbed by major world countries, including the UK, the US and France - all wartime allies of the then Soviet Union.

In a separate development, a court in Berlin banned the carrying of Russian and Soviet flags during rallies at Soviet war memorials in the German capital on 9 May.
